Just had a quick look on the bay
These twin planes all seem to have a bit of a thick 2

answering to the last questions:

it was not a question about the hands from the superlativetime Navi806

i don't show the hole dial, because it seems to be more importent to
look at the 12 for to take a decission about the lume, but ok - perhabs
only two indices are authentic and the rest relumed (and i choose a watch
and a picture detail from a watch that makes it possible).

The question for the serial number usually would be the correct
basic approach for a thread about these 806 with "thick 12",
but who should come in a thread like this, for to burn down his watch.

Specially the 806 (also 1806 ...) is showing a lot of different lume colours, different
lume development, for example a kind of lume contraction and perhabs
also different "12 types" and even the pictures from watchfred showing this.

Ok on watchfred pictures we don't see "extreme 12", but what is the conclusion?

That they don't existe?

I also can show different 806 and choose these with most accurate indices and 12
(perhabs more accurate as on watchfred's pictures), but what should be the conclusion?

Sorry for my perhabs a little bid to much persistant reactions, but if i don't do this
after the first reactions the conclusion would be

"thick 12 don't existe, all these are relumed..."

btw that would also mean

all people who have done these relume are aficiniados of a
"thick 12", that never existed and loved to paint it on a dial.




regards

Stephan

This one is what i called 'thick' breitling used to be very good at 'staying between the lines' these '2' seem to run over a bit

no, the rounded 2 is much harder to "get right" than the batons.

I think we should really agree to disagree & leave it at that.

just to clarify, the only watch I was commenting on is the one from your original post.

comments had been:

1. watch

not so sure that dial has not been relumed, the 2 ist strange.

2. watch

yes. we see them, just as we see many other imperfections.
relume for me.

3. watch

totally different

4. watch

here i made a mistake - it was the comment from dracha:
I cant tell without seeing the whole face , maybe 2 indices were done very well and the rest crappy

for this watch i expected a comment from watchfred, because i asked him for this, but he ignored
to answer, so there are only 3 watches with comments from him.

it is legitim to ignore a question and also to ignore me

Stephan
